In the state area?
for NY? or some other state?
_______________
If state tax withholding is showing in box 14 of the 1099-R , some states require $$ be in box 16, and box 16 cannot be blank (even though it may be on many 1099-R forms).
IF box 2a has a valid non-zero number, entering that value in box 16 should fix the problem.
IF box 2a is blank (undetermined) then the Federally taxable amount of box 1 is used...which is usually just the value of box 1 if there were no after-tax contributions (i.e. nondeductible) made to that retirement source.
